I’ve been going to Fall Out Boy shows for the last 10 years and they’ve never disappointed. I appreciate the raw emotion and energy of Take This To Your Grave and then have really enjoyed seeing the band grow with each successive album. It’s something similar bands like New Found Glory or Taking Back Sunday have struggled to do. I know there’s the perception that Fall Out Boy is a band for 14-year-old girls but it’s not the reality.

Long before they were on the radio they’d come up to Milwaukee quite a bit (along with other great Chicago-land bands like Lucky Boys Confusion) and had a pretty dedicated following amongst both genders and varying age groups, with a sizeable college following. They got hijacked a bit by radio and the one-two punch of “Sugar We’re Going Down” and “Dance, Dance,” but there’s not too many teenyboppers who closely followed the band post Infinity on High.

It’s exciting that Milwaukee was chosen as the spot to launch the first national tour supporting Save Rock and Roll. Clearly, the album is departure from previous work and admittedly it took me awhile to get warmed up to the toned-down guitars. However, I find musically and lyrically tracks like “Alone Together,” “Miss Missing You,” and “Where Did The Party Go?” to be among the best songs of Fall Out Boy’s career.

I know I’m not alone in my support of the band. It was great to see the Eagles Ballroom sell out in 15 minutes. See you there Tuesday.
